Vernon!  My main man!

Niagara’s entertainer had a great season last year which ended with him playing at the State Fair in Syracuse , NY.  He stopped by the hub for an update, and is proud as hell to have completed a program at NCCC certifying him as a Dialysis Technician.  What’s that? Well, watch and see the video below and hear the tremendous story of how Vernon went from homeless to hopeful in a short period of time.

And if any of you hospitals out there are looking for a personable guy who can keep the patients happy while getting hooked up to a dialysis machine, then you just have to hire Vernon.  We’ll hear more in a few months, keep your ears pointed to hear the sweet sounds of his sax throughout the downtown area this summer.
